Chapter 253

After eating two eggs, Zhao Yan secretly swore to himself that he wouldn't want to eat eggs for the next month. Zhao Gao was busy tending to the porridge. He was simmering it over a low fire, so he had to keep an eye on it every now and then to make sure the fire hadn't gone out without him knowing. Simmering porridge over a low fire was something Madam Chen had specifically taught Zhao Gao to do, saying that porridge cooked this way not only tasted good but was also nourishing. Therefore, Zhao Gao was extremely careful with every single step, terrified of making a mistake. As a result, despite the sweltering heat in the kitchen, he stayed glued to the stove to tend the fire and refused to budge an inch.
